Prepare yourself for the 15th annual History Meets the Arts (HMTA) event, June 14-16 in historic Gettysburg, PA. At Lord Nelson's Gallery, you'll meet with over 30 artists in person during this three day event. Artists exhibited work as painters, sculptors and traditional 18th century period accoutrement makers. The artists represent a wide variety of genres including 18th & 19th century periods, Native American, Celtic, wildlife, landscape, nostalgic, and more.

This will be your opportunity to see and purchase the latest original paintings, speak to the artists in person, or have your print personalized. You can also purchase that rare, hard to find book or learn how a bronze sculpture is created. Then explore the contemporary 18th century period accoutrements made by some of the country’s finest artisans.
